Animal Super Senses

Animals and insects see the world very differently than we do. Find out how caribou use UV light to avoid wolves; how dragonflies can make a kill in the blink of an eye, and why a snake's eyes are not like ours, as we look at sight in the animal kingdom.

Animals are able to hear frequencies that humans cannot. And they communicate in complex ways. Take a look at the hidden world of sound in the animal kingdom, including how bats see with sound; elephants' phenomenal hearing and meet the noisiest animal (for its size) in the world!

Explore the powerful world of scent, and the animals that have pushed their sense of smell far beyond human abilities. Take a look at the skunk, and what makes its scent so repulsive; learn about the wolverine, and find out what smell repels a shark.
